We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

JAF Plaza Co., Ltd. has almost completed recruitment for the October 2026 intake, with the exception of emergency applications! Many students have passed their interviews and are now preparing their COE applications!

Now, we will begin preparations for the April 2027 intake!

We have already received recruitment requests from our partner schools!

In the future, the Japanese language proficiency requirements will increase under the new accredited Japanese language school system. Therefore, the Japanese conversation skills and Japanese language proficiency test qualifications of the students we introduce will be stricter than ever before.

For this reason, we will be focusing on introducing students with N5-N4 proficiency more than ever before!

If you need to recruit international students, please contact us!

We handle all types of schools, including Class I, Class II, and new schools!

We will continue to strive to help as many students as possible achieve their goal of studying in Japan!

If you are planning a working holiday in Japan, one of the most important things to consider is where to live.

Tokyo and Osaka are two of the most popular cities for working holiday makers, offering plenty of job opportunities, international communities, and exciting lifestyles. However, finding a place to stay in Japan can be challenging—especially for foreigners.

In fact, many landlords hesitate to rent apartments to working holiday visa holders due to short-term stays and strict requirements.

That’s why choosing the right accommodation is essential.



■ Why J&F House is Recommended

At J&F House, we provide an ideal living environment for working holiday makers in Japan.

✔ Easy Move-in for Foreigners

We welcome international residents and provide support in English, making the process simple and stress-free.

✔ Affordable Rent

Living costs in big cities like Tokyo can be high, but J&F House offers reasonable pricing to help you manage your budget.

✔ Fully Furnished Rooms

Most apartments in Japan are unfurnished, requiring extra costs for furniture and appliances.
At J&F House, you can move in and start living immediately.

✔ Community & Networking

Meet people from all over the world and build connections while living in Japan.
Working holiday is not just about work—it’s about experience.

✔ Flexible Stay Options

Working holiday visas usually allow a stay of up to one year.
We offer flexible terms that suit your stay period.



■ Why Tokyo & Osaka?
Tokyo
More job opportunities
International environment
Endless things to explore
Osaka
Lower living costs
Friendly local atmosphere
Easy access to Kyoto and Kobe


Finding accommodation in Japan as a working holiday maker can be difficult.
However, choosing a foreigner-friendly and flexible option makes your experience much smoother.

J&F House is one of the best choices to start your life in Japan.

The rush of arrivals for those born in April 2026: Many people are coming to Japan now to enroll in Japanese language schools.

For the first two years, we hope you will not only study Japanese but also experience many things you wouldn't experience in your home country and meet many new people!

We hope you will study hard at Japanese language school and thrive!

The government recently announced a suspension of new applications for the Specified Skills Worker (Type 1) visa for the food service industry.

This is because the maximum number of applicants, 50,000, has been reached, meaning the originally allocated number was filled faster than expected.

https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/applications/ssw/03_00001.html

Applications submitted after April 13th will, in principle, be denied. Furthermore, applications received before April 13th will require adjustments to the number of applicants, prioritizing domestic applications, and potentially leading to guidance towards designated activities (with restrictions), which is expected to cause confusion on the ground.

Therefore, our company will temporarily suspend accepting applications from individuals who do not currently hold the Specified Skills Worker (Type 1) visa and are seeking employment in the food service industry.

However, we can continue to assist those already working under the Specified Skills Worker (Type 1) visa who are seeking a career change; please contact us for further information.

Please note that further developments may occur depending on future government policies. Thank you very much.

~For Registered Support Organizations and Recruitment Agencies~

For foreign nationals who have secured employment in Japan and are coming to Japan, or who are changing jobs within Japan, housing is often a major concern.

While it's ideal if companies can arrange dormitories or properties, many companies expect prospective employees to find accommodation themselves.

For those with Specified Skills visas, registered support organizations provide assistance, but even then, finding properties that accept foreigners can be very time-consuming and difficult.

In such cases, please consult with JAF Plaza!

We are seeing an increase in the number of Specified Skills workers seeking housing, and we are receiving more inquiries from registered support organizations!

We are a long-established company operating international exchange houses for over 25 years.

To date, we have welcomed people from over 100 countries and regions, making J&F House a truly multinational presence!

We serve international students, working holiday participants, short-term visitors, tourists, and people from all over the world! Therefore, we are professionals when it comes to housing for foreign nationals!

If your company doesn't provide dormitory or housing arrangements, or if you're a registered support organization or union representative and find it difficult to provide dormitory support, please contact us!

Our features are listed below!

● Minimum stay of 1 month OK ⇒ Suitable for job changes, visa changes, and specific activity periods!
● Overseas applications OK
● No key money or brokerage fees
● Furnished with appliances and furniture, and equipped with Wi-Fi
● House managers are stationed at each property
* You can move into the property immediately after arriving in Japan.

The other day, we were invited to the graduation ceremony of MANABI Foreign Language Institute Tokyo, a Japanese language school affiliated with our company for share houses and international student introductions.

It was a wonderful ceremony created by the school's administrative staff, teachers, and the star graduates themselves! We are grateful to have been able to witness this moment!

You will now move on to new goals, and we would like to support you!

I believe that these talented foreign students will lead Japanese society to a new stage in the future! To that end, we were reminded of the importance of continuing to support foreign students in the areas of housing, school introductions, and job introductions.

Finally, in the congratulatory remarks, words such as "once in a lifetime" and "challenge" were frequently mentioned. I feel that these are truly important! We will also continue to do our best, cherishing connections!

Our Japanese language school is currently conducting interviews for the October 2026 student intake!

The person in charge of one of our partner schools has traveled to Myanmar to interview students and their parents!

The students' futures depend on it, so we hope they do their best!

Doing this kind of work makes me realize that I am deeply involved in the turning points of many people's lives.

Of course, I feel a great sense of responsibility, but at the same time, I want them to succeed in Japan and continue to work hard to ensure that they are glad they chose us!
